Despite Michael Bloomberg’s unprecedented spending, his billionaire rival Tom Steyer has “nearly tripled the rest of the field combined in TV and digital ad spending in South Carolina through mid-February,” according to The Dallas Morning News Feb. 28. Steyer has reportedly spent a whopping $23.6 million on campaign advertising just in South Carolina alone, according to NPR Politics deputy editor Ben Swasey’s summary of Advertising Analytics data Feb. 27.

He’s got local black pols pumping him up in his ads. I expect those will help some. His problem is probably not enough GOTV. He needs people to identify and contact simpatico voters. But that’s another layer of expense he can’t afford. He’s spent perhaps 20% his personal fortune on this run. For Bloomberg, it’s not even 1% so far.

Could this be construed as the Democrats funding the media so that the media can provide favorable “independent” coverage during the upcoming two years?

He should spend all that he has, if he’s so dedicated to his global slavery cause.

Steyer is all about rich liberal issues, like globull warming. Hard to see that playing well in the SC Dem primary, with such a large black vote.

Thank him my friends. He pays taxes on what he spends. Good for the Trump economy.

He is spending a ton in the Houston market. Probably more than Mini-Mike right now.

Go, Tom, go! There has to be a counterbalance against Biden and a placeholder for Mike, you know. Otherwise, who shall there be to combat Burnie the Socialist on Super Tuesday? That shall be the first time that Mike is going to actually be in competition for votes, and this is just breaking ground.

Of course, Mike Bumbleberg is no prize either.

Now that they need you, Howard Schultz, where are you?

I love watching those democrats waste millions and millions of dollars that cannot otherwise go to the person that wins the nomination, or even to various national and governor races. The GOP has been in this predicament countless times and I enjoy seeing the democrats suffer like this.
